First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

This statement made it seem as though today wasn’t about them surrounding and killing Lu Ding.

It was about Lu Ding, alone, surrounding and killing all of them!

Time froze at that moment, but thawed quietly an instant later.

Since things had already reached this point, even if the beginning was wrong and the process was wrong, as long as the result was right, that was enough!!!

”Kill!”

Yuwen Longyuan issued the order with a cold voice.

Instantly.

All the Wuwang members present instantly launched their attacks towards Lu Ding.

Spiritual Energy surged wildly!

Various techniques, secret arts, all danced together, talismanic scripts fluttered, pressing down like a lid, divine light flowed and swirled, dazzling the sky.In the blink of an eye, countless attacks descended.

Lu Ding did not dodge or evade.

He raised his hand, forming a half-claw to grasp and manipulate the [Qi of the Ticket Wind]. A sea of flowers exploded, reflecting myriad colors, illuminating countless hues, like a tsunami of petals sweeping across heaven and earth.

He pushed both palms forward, twin dragons emerging from the sea!!!

The flower-scream that swept across heaven and earth crashed down like a tidal wave, colliding head-on with the attacks from the dozen or so Wuwang members.

BOOM!!!!!

A massive shockwave rolled out, blowing over everything that dared stand upon the ground, scraping the earth bare.

Buildings within a hundred-kilometer radius were instantly destroyed, reduced to a zone of ruins, full of broken walls and shattered pillars.

Fortunately, Lu Ding had Fu Xinghe evacuate the surrounding residents beforehand, and coupled with the Ding Family’s estate being vast to begin with, this clash of attacks caused almost no civilian casualties, aside from the destruction of structures and the Ding family members themselves.

The recoil force from the clash echoed back.

Lu Ding did not retreat half a step.

Instead, several of the Wuwang members with slightly lower cultivation levels—Qi Refiners and demonic spirits—were sent flying backward, vomiting blood mid-air.

This was the first threshold.

”Lu Ding, today is your death day!!!!”

”Lu Ding, give up your life!!!”

”Daring to provoke Wuwang, your only destination is death!!!”

”Today, between us and you, we will determine superiority and settle life and death!!!”

Just as the Wuwang formation shifted.

Over a dozen members split into two groups.

Those responsible for long-range attacks and artifact use stepped back, forming hand seals and circulating their energy.

Those responsible for close combat, the physical attackers, stepped forward, launching a fierce, urgent assault!

Lu Ding spread his hands apart with a forceful shake.

Flesh-aura mixed with black smoke spewed forth, and a roar like that of a revving engine erupted from within his body.

HMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Apertures flung wide open!!!

”You want to kill me? Then come!”

Instead of retreating, he advanced, raising both hands to attack.

The [Way of the Jinche] erupted at this moment, unleashing thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of razor-sharp slash attacks, cutting!!!

*Shiiiiiick, shiiiiick, shiiiiick...*

This was the crisp sound of slashes cutting through flesh and blood, relieving the pressure of the heavy combat atmosphere.

Figures disintegrated in mid-air, spraying blood like rain, scattering minced flesh like snow.

Lu Ding’s figure and the figures of the Wuwang members intertwined within this ’rain and snow’.

His hands and feet were like battering rams, like tunnel-boring machines—a graze meant injury, a direct hit meant shattering.

[Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking] in hand, [Torture-Crushing Great Rotation] grasped and wielded, [Way of the Jinche] dancing wildly, [Qi of the Ticket Wind] flying like blossoms.

[Copper Head Iron Brain] blocking spells and attacks, [White Snake Shakes Scales] taking hits head-on.

Defense!?

Screw that, attack only, no defense!

After Lu Ding kicked and shattered a Wuwang member at the late Fourth Restriction stage.

A beastly black-furred palm came clawing down, striking heavily against his chest.

*THUMP!!!*

Demonic energy ran rampant.

That person’s face lit up with delight: ”I hit him! I hit him!!!!”

Looking at Lu Ding, he felt neither pain nor itch. The red light in his eyes only grew brighter as he slowly lowered his head, killing intent leaking out.

”Good. Felt a bit. But only a bit.”

[White Snake Shakes Scales] shook off the damage and dissipated the force!

Yuwen Longyuan, who hadn’t moved until now, suddenly shouted: ”Dodge!!!!”

Too late!

Watch as Lu Ding brought his palms together in a simple, brutal double-ear-smashing strike.

*SMACK!!!*

This Fifth Restriction Wuwang member’s head was instantly pulverized. The headless corpse slowly collapsed to the ground.

A notification stirred within the Golden Finger in his mind.

Lu Ding didn’t look. He was in the middle of a fight.

He’d check the spoils after the battle.

Seeing a Fifth Restriction member die, Yuwen Longyuan and Gao Qiuli could no longer stand by.

Both were individuals of cautious character.

They had originally intended to observe Lu Ding’s moves, find his habits, his openings, and then prescribe the right medicine, delivering a full-force, certain-kill blow.

But who could have known the man had no so-called habits? He didn’t block or defend; he was all openings.

When there are no openings, exposing a single one creates a certain-death situation.

But when he’s all openings, yet his aura is terrifyingly strong, letting you hit him, letting you attack, not even bothering to defend...

In this situation, you couldn’t discern anything.

They couldn’t even begin to gauge the upper limit of Lu Ding’s defense.

There was no choice but to act.

If they didn’t act now, their people would be wiped out!

”Lu Ding, I’ll meet you!!!”

”Grand Duke Lu, forgive the offense!!!”

The two of them attacked.

Divine rings lit up on Yuwen Longyuan’s body, rings within rings, looking just like soul rings, the only fly in the ointment being that he wasn’t surnamed Tang.

A clanging, metallic sound rang from Gao Qiuli’s body as bone armor grew from her flesh, flipping out to cover her entire form. She held a long spear, thrusting it into the ground.

The spear bent like a bow.

The next second.

Gao Qiuli shot forward as if launched from a bowstring.

Her spear tore through the air.

A point of cold, sharp light at its tip erupted into a piercing, eye-hurting divine radiance.

Lu Ding flicked his hand to deflect the spear, retaliating with the [Way of the Jinche] launched from his hand. Slash attacks cut through the air. Gao Qiuli performed a spinning twist in mid-air to dodge. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Ding draw back his fist.

The light of heaven and earth seemed to be pulled into his embrace along with that fist.

Black smoke spewed.

He threw the punch.

It was as if a large, seal-script character for ’death’ was engraved upon his knuckles, which he then drove forward with mountain-pushing force, aiming to smash it into Gao Qiuli’s head.

’I’ll die!!!!’

At this moment, death was calling Gao Qiuli.

At the critical juncture.

Yuwen Longyuan used the rings on his body to form a shield, placing it in front of her.

*THUD—*

A dull sound rang out. Waves of black smoke formed rings that tumbled and churned outward.

Ring after ring of light shattered continuously, dissipating the force.

Finally, Yuwen Longyuan and Gao Qiuli were sent flying back together.

The two figures tumbled, landed, and plowed deep furrows into the ground, sliding for over a kilometer before barely coming to a stop.

They looked up.

Yuwen Longyuan looked at Lu Ding, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He saw that figure of fearsome reputation.

Standing in mid-air, one hand gripping the crown of a Wuwang member’s skull, looking down from on high, casting a gaze of absolute equality towards all living beings.

It wasn’t about looking down on anyone in particular.

It was about looking down on everyone!!

This burgeoning arrogance broke through the heavens, like a sharp sword piercing the firmament.

The Great Han’s Corpse-Shattering Taishui, New City’s Sin of Arrogance... these epithets were indeed not wrong...

As Yuwen Longyuan thought this, Gao Qiuli beside him stood frozen in place.

In her mind, the silhouette of that man from the Wuwang Nowhere Room continuously overlapped with the Lu Ding who now arrogantly dominated everything.

She was so incredulous she couldn’t speak at all...

Impossible, how could he possibly have entered the Nowhere Room...

Lu Ding paid her no mind, instead looking at Yuwen Longyuan.

”Blocking one of my punches with Fifth Restriction cultivation. You, are quite good.”

It was praise.

And it was sincere, heartfelt praise.

But Yuwen Longyuan found it very hard to swallow.

Because from that brief exchange, he discovered that Lu Ding’s cultivation was actually only at the Fourth Restriction!

And he, a Fifth Restriction cultivator, had been injured by a single punch from a Fourth Restriction cultivator!!!

Was this praise?!!

For a moment, Yuwen Longyuan didn’t know what to say.

He very much wanted to ask: ”Aren’t I a genius? Am I actually a genius or not!?”
